%X In general, the emphasis of social economy theorists has been sectoral; that is, research has emphasized the uniqueness of the social economy, almost as if it is a world apart from the rest of society. This article, in contrast, focuses on the differing forms of interaction between the social economy and other parts of society. The authors use a Venn diagram to illustrate differing forms of interaction between the social economy and other parts of society, and also the fluidity of the social economy. The model presented assumes that the social economy is embedded within society, and some players within the social economy support social norms and others challenge these norms and present a transformative vision. / G¨¦n¨¦ralement, les th¨¦oriciens de l'¨¦conomie sociale se concentrent sur l'approche sectorielle, c'est-¨¤-dire que leurs recherches soulignent le caract¨¨re unique de l'¨¦conomie sociale, presque comme s'il s'agissait d'un monde en marge du reste de la soci¨¦t¨¦. Par contraste, cet article envisage les diverses formes que peut prendre l'interaction entre l'¨¦conomie sociale et les autres sph¨¨res de la soci¨¦t¨¦. Pour illustrer ces diff¨¦rentes formes d'interaction ainsi que la fluidit¨¦ de l'¨¦conomie sociale, les auteurs ont utilis¨¦ un diagramme de Venn. Le mod¨¨le pr¨¦sent¨¦ tient pour acquis que l'¨¦conomie sociale est partie int¨¦grante de la soci¨¦t¨¦. Alors que certains acteurs de l'¨¦conomie sociale d¨¦fendent l'existence de normes sociales, d'autres mettent ces normes en doute et proposent plut t une vision transformatrice.
